Restart
Sometimes my mind clears enough that I figure out some stuff. On the top of my list of annoyances was that the desktop I use most of the time would not do a shutdown (warm) it would lock up and hours later ask if I wanted windows to start fixing or start normal. Start normal the only choice that ended up with the computer starting up but creates many fragmented clusters . Very annoying when getting an update that required a restart. I had to say no I will restart later and then go to the start and select shutdown. Wait for the computer to shut down and then hit the restart button on top and restart it – pain in the arse.
I know this one really I do – why is it doing this. I have ignored it for months. Ok it hits me DUH the shut down wait time is too short for all the stuff I have added to shut down properly. YEAH brain! Go to reregit, find the key, change the time and YES we have lift off – or in this case restart. Amazing what waiting a few more seconds will do.
Now I am on a roll feeling mighty smart LOL. Next on the list create a custom avatar to show for all the blogger peeps without gravatars. Blogger avatars only show on blogger blogs not wordpress. So custom fuction:
add_filter( 'avatar_defaults', 'newgravatar' );
function newgravatar ($avatar_defaults) {
$myavatar = get_bloginfo(‘template_directory’) . ‘/images/bitr.jpg’;
$avatar_defaults[$myavatar] = “BITR”;
return $avatar_defaults;
}
?>
Strange that self hosted wordpress sites do not import blogger avatars. Then again I set up a blogger account so that my avatar shows on blogger sites and kind of wonder why blogger folks do not set up a gravatar? Or maybe my gravatar code is broken?
I am going to go read some geek stuff before my brain slips back into it’s fog.
